| Abstract: | An 80-year-old debilitated patient developed purulent pleurisy caused by aCampylobacter lari isolate. The patient underwent surgical drainage and received antibiotic therapy with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid and ofloxacin. Antibiotic susceptibility data showed that the isolate was fully sensitive to clarithromycin, tetracycline, aminoglycosides, and ciprofloxacin. Imipenem and amoxicillin plus clavulanic acid were the most active  -lactam agents. |
